NECKTIEBFASTENING.

SFECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 385,629, dated July 3, 1888.

(No model.)

To @ZZ whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that I, DAVID IsAKovrTz, a subject of the Emperor ofAustria-Hungary, residing at NewYork,in the county and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Neckties and Similar Articles, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to ncckties, and it consists in an improved construction of fastening for the band, as hereinafter described, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l shows a necktie in perspective, the view being taken from the rear, so as to show more fully the fastening device when in use. Fig. 2 shows the two ends of the band detached from the rest of the nccktie, one end of the band having the fastening device attached to it. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section, on the line c fr, Fig. l, of the end parts of the band and the fastening device.

Similar letters indicate corresponding parts.

The letter A'designatcs the bow of the necktie, and B is the shield to which the bow is properly secured, and to which is secured the band C. The band C extends in two parts or ends from the shield P, one end, D, being plain and the other end, E, being provided at its eX- treniity with a loop, F, which is engaged by the cross-bar G of the fastening device, the cross-bar being arranged to pass through the loop F at right angles to the baud. The cross-I bar G is made of wire, which is extended toward the left from each end of the cross-bar and formed into the spiral springs H H, which extend in a direction nearly parallel with each other, and whose ends terminate in hooks I I. rIhe cross-bar G, spiral springs H H, and hooks -I I are all made from the same piece of wire. The left-hand ends of the spiral springs H H are connected to each other by means of the cross-bar J, which consists of a ring of obA long shape, which interloeks with the coils of the spiral springs H, as is shown by the drawings. The hooked ends of the spiral springs II are held apart from each other by the crossbar J, and from said cross-barJextends a fiat link, K, which swings on the said cross-bar, and through one end of which link passes the cross-bar J, while through its other end passes the handle-loop L, by means 0f which the end or part E of the band is manipulated.

The hooks I are so arranged that their ends are presented toward the outer surface of the part or end D of the band when the ends of band are to be fastened to each other, the arrangement and operation being that the handleloop L is seized and the part or end E of the band drawn over the end or parti), which is meanwhile held stationary. The handle-loop L is then pulled sufficiently to bring the ends D' and E to their proper adjustment one over the other, the spiral springs H H being stretched in the operation, and then on pres. ing the fastening-hooks slightly against the part or end D of the band the hooks will pierce the band, which is made of such fabric as can be engaged by the hooks, and the ends oi" the band thereby become secured to cach other.

This fastening device is simple iu construction and operation, and at the same time effective and not liable to get out of order. It is at the same time economical, as a great length of band is not required.

Vhat I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

In neckties and similarartieles, the combination, with the part or end E of the band, of the crossbar G, spiral springs II H, and hooks I I, all three being made ofthe same piece of wire, the cross-bar J and swinging link K, and the part or end D ofthe band, substantially as described.

In tcstimony whereof I havehereu nto set my hand and seal in the presence of two subscrib ing witnesses. l
